Of course she believed that Vegeta cared. She could see the ways that he did. But she could also see the ways that he didn't. Not only were there limitations in his powers, but there were limitations in his emotions, and it was up to her to decide what limitations she would accept. His limitations affected her too, after all.
She deserved more. She was beautiful, smart, compassionate and damn it! Maybe it was true what Krillin said, that her taste was all wrong in men, but how the hell was she supposed to control her own emotions? She had needs to be met!
Part of her wanted to go after the dragon balls again and finally make that wish for the perfect boyfriend.
But she wasn't young anymore. Bra was a teenager now, and she… she had wrinkles. Wrinkles! She was the smartest inventor in the world and she couldn't find an invention to cure wrinkles? What the hell!
Geez… maybe that was why Vegeta seemed so distant. A Saiyans' lifespan lasted so much longer than a human's. Chi chi was lucky in that Goku didn't care about age, yet part of her suspected that Goku also didn't also understand anything about a woman's needs. After all, he was so pure that he could still ride nimbus…
Did Chi chi rape him? Oh dear! She shouldn't be thinking about Son like that!
But that wasn't the point. Bulma always knew that she was seductive. And she was an heiress. AND a genius.
And it wasn't enough.
She'd grown her hair out to try to make herself look younger. It curled softly to frame her face, and the blue tints only highlighted the shade of her eyes.
Vegeta's obsession on Goku made her feel invisible. Even though she had no doubt that there was a part of him that loved her, it wasn't enough to save her. Kami, Vegeta would cut off his own nose to spite his face. And she loved him.
Why?
It was time for a vacation, she realized. Her children didn't need a babysitter. She needed some time alone to care about her own wellbeing.
Maybe more. Mutin Roshi had mentioned that he drank from the fountain of eternal youth, and she had a sudden drive to taste that liquid. She would never be able to keep up with the Z fighters with her age; the only chance she had was with her brain, but what would happen to her fragile human body?
Her adventures were not over yet.
